Use of Hungarian milk-protein products in sport.

Protein-based food products intended for athletes--(Hamomid powder and tablets, Amino-acid Capsules)--were studied for absorption, elimination and excretion. On the evidence of the findings all were readily absorbed, the serum amino-acid levels attained their peaks 60 to 90 min after ingestion of the daily dose. At the end of 10 day periods during which the products in question had been administered a minor increase was found in the urinary excretion of alpha-aminonitrogen.
